I enjoyed the first couple of episodes and found them witty and exciting. As the show progressed, the tendency to just shock the audience with morally atrocious scenes just started to grind on me, but I was too heavily invested in the plot by the point to stop.

I do wonder why society is so obsessed with serial killers and this show didn't answer that question, it just sort of added to the phenomenon but with a slightly self-conscious tone.

I most enjoyed the occasional sweet moments between the couple. But I was also disturbed by the society portrayed in this show - these beautiful homes and beautiful clothes but the people don't seem to live for any purpose other than to party, enjoy spending money and compare themselves to each other.. that was a little sad.

The acting was good, the production good, it was definitely well made and did keep me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

I have fallen absolutely in love with this show, I just cannot get enough. Mostly what I love is the tone. Finally a show that manages to champion forces of good in the deeply philosophical way that Tolkien did is just such a breath of fresh air. I love the little snippets of wisdom, I love the characters and their moral dilemmas. Of course the action, the costumes and set and scenery are phenomenal and very true to Tolkien's world in my opinion. I have been rather confused and flabbergasted by the huge backlash against the show once I started watching it. I just hope amongst all the noise, the creators can stick to their vision and continue delighting us for seasons to come! Bring on more of The Rings of Power! This is what humanity needs more of.
